[ILUG] whitebox mirror

[Paul Kelly :: Blacknight Solutions]

Dave,

I noticed the same thing John did around a week or so ago. So I switched
to another mirror and its been fine.
I get the exact same error as John does, and I've tried other mirrors
and I don't get the error, therefore pointing the finger at you :)

I don't know whats wrong, but is has got to be something simple.

Paul
